Now, on to this new sweet treat – Ice Cream-istry!
What kid doesn’t love ice cream? What better way to get students’ creative juices flowing than working together to design and pitch a mobile ice-cream cart concept for your school community! In this activity, students will simulate market research, illustration, design, and engineering to test and evaluate their ice cream cart prototype.
And the BEST PART? Part of the experiment includes actually making ice cream to examine how heat energy forms ice cream to help it stay cool . . . or make it melt!
Students will tackle essential questions like:
- What is a business pitch?
- What components make a business pitch effective?
- What is market research and how can it benefit the design process?
- Why is it important to understand the science behind your product?
